Simple.
Earned income tax credit, food stamps, welfare, subsidized housing, and tax incentives for business investment in predominately African American/low income neighborhoods.
After one or two generations of those reparations we could finally put and end to this debate.

No dude.
We've done reparations.
We're still doing them.
We need to start talking about when we are going to stop doing them now.

Slavery in ancient societies was appreciably different from the type of slavery that was introduced into Africa by the Europeans in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. We all know that chattel slavery was a special type created by Europeans.Its a fact that in most ancient societies the slave was held in servitude for a limited time, for specific reasons, and in most cases the slave was captured in local wars which we all know so its nothing new there my friends but guess what? Skin color was not a factor as to whether a person did or did not become a slave and, in most cases the slave had some rights that the master had to respect. In ancient Egypt, Nubia, Greece and early Rome there were clearly defined codes of conduct governing the relationship between the slaves and their masters. Im not very religious and all but some of the earliest of these codes are recorded in the laws of Moses. So when people like you say that slavery existed in africa prior to contact with the Europeans is often used to excuse the European slave trade which is what most white folks love to do. The two systems had few similarities. The tragic distinguishing feature of the slave trade that was introduced by the Europeans was that it totally dehumanized the slave and was treated like an animal and as property. This dehumanization continued in many ways thoughout the slavery period and well into the colonial era. This crucial act was supported by a rationale that was created in part by the wicked Christian church and later extended by the racist writers of the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The myth of a people with no history and culture or humanity comes out of that period to further justify these acts so try again.
You really think Al Sharpton would accept slavery reparations in the form of tax incentives that span two generations instead of cash payments that happen right now? Because that won't work for a civil rights activist who makes a living like he does. When he's asking 2020 Democratic Presidential candidates if they'd support reparations, you know he's talking about the cash.
This article in the WSJ says "The candidates aren’t explicitly calling for direct payments from the U.S. Treasury into the bank accounts of Americans whose ancestors were slaves—and, typically, that isn’t what many African-American congressional leaders say reparations must be. It could amount to formal government recognition that slavery was an injustice committed by the U.S., for example."
But that's just beating around the bush nonsense. Formal government recognition that slavery was super bad and activists will be good to go my butt. If reparations were to actually happen, there's no way anything less than direct cash payments would be given the thumbs up as a sufficient addressing of the issue by African Americans. They and leftist activists would say the cash never landed and the US never took the issue seriously enough.

Ok.
Then African Americans should vote for Andrew Yang and the freedom dividend. They'll get 1000 a month. Martin Luther King was pushing for a UBI before he was killed, so it should be an easy sell.
Can't disagree. I like Yang. Now if only he had even the most remote chance of winning the candidacy.....

Crazier things have happened, especially with a crowded field of candidates, Trump for example. Yang is basically the anti-Trump.
